Columbia truss bike year help

The fenders are correct. I will have to check the catalog when I get home tonight on the wheels. I have a 1920, nearly identical but wheels often had multiple options. Mine has wood rims.


also pedals are marked (persons majestic mgf)
 
Here is the info from the 1919 catalog for the Arch Bar.

Hopefully this will clear up some of the questions.

So now I’m on the hunt for shallower fenders.


Dont get too hung up on that. It is very possible the fenders you have came from the factory. Catalog descriptions are the venue of marketing, not manufacturing. New parts for the next model year could be used early if the old ones were used up and the reverse is also true and old parts could be used up on the new model year. I've seen it way too often to be a random thing. I've worked in the factory and seen it first hand.
